Night Elf Druid Racial Needs a Fix

Night Elves should not be able to instantly be out of combat when using their racial so they can instantly fly away when losing in world PvP, Racials are not supposed to give any race any advantages and the fact that NE Druids can run away from any situation out in the world is an advantage to where they never have to worry about dying by simply running away using this method.

lol I’m aware of the skill, but:
1, it doesn’t matter because they can instantly stealth>out of combat >fly before u can spectral sight > glaive throw

  1. that’s beside the point, a racial should not have an advantage over other druid races who aren’t NE

It’s not the fact that they can shadowmeld + flight form away. Personally, I don’t see that as a problem, it’s their racial. It’s supposed to drop combat after all and hunters can do something similar, maybe not instant cast but during Halloween they can.

The problem is the fact that we can’t net a druid if they’re touching the ground in flight form or if they so happen to touch the ground while the net is already travelling to them. Druids can’t be netted with Net-o-Matic, in a sense.

It’s already been reported tons of times but Blizzard has made no attempt to fix it really.

Well, Zandalari Paladins have an advantage over other Paladin races who aren’t Zandalari. They can bubble and use Regeneration to heal to full.

Has it ever worked on Druid? Their flying form isn’t a mount and isn’t treated as such. Unless it used to work, and now doesn’t, I’m inclined to believe this is a perk of a Druid.

Yes Druid flight form is instant, but u can’t fly when you are in combat unless u kite long enough to get out of combat, but NE can literally use racial and fly instantly before u can blink while you are on top of them because it instantly gets them out of combat combined with their instant flight form = cheese

I understand that, but I’m saying I don’t believe there is anything to ‘fix’. It would be a nerf.

Druids aren’t mounts, their forms don’t act like one in the code.

Yes it’s worked on Druids. It still does to a certain extent. They just can’t be touching the ground when they’re in flying form. The reason why is because back in Legion, they combined Flight Form, Aquatic Form, and Cheetah/Stag Form into one spell, Travel Form.

It’s supposed to be a “smart” change, such as if they enter the water while in any of those forms, they’ll instantly turn to Aquatic, if they’re in an area where they can’t fly it’ll turn to Cheetah/Stag, and so forth. If a druid is in the air in Flight Form, they can be netted. The reason it doesn’t affect them when they’re touching the ground is because Net-o-Matic is designed to only work on flying mounts, not ground mounts. When they touch the ground, they’re suddenly registered in Stag/Cheetah Form, a ground mount, even if its not reflected as them morphing into it.

Sounds like easiest way then it to change the net to net ground and knock down flying.

I probably wouldn’t mess with the Druid code.

I wouldn’t mind this change honestly but there’s a problem with this:

The way the spell is currently designed is bad. They need to split it back up into Aquatic, Flight, and Cheetah/Stag form instead of consolidating it into one.

Druids have complained about not being able to put cosmetic glyphs onto Aquatic Form or Cheetah/Stag because you can only apply one of those at a time onto this new “Travel Form”.

It’d be a nice change if it they did split it up again, so that they could have more cosmetic options to their forms.

I still much prefer to shadowmeld into gunshoes much more comical. Also sometimes shadowmeld drops combat and sometimes not. So then incarnation into stealth then gunshoes or flight.
I don’t think it’s that unfair though. I’ve instantly been shot right back down with the net gun. Shapeshifting in mid air to avoid the net gun doesn’t work either.

You can’t net gun anyone touching the ground on a flying mount. I also know for a fact that if the net is launched and I touch the ground it still pulls me outta flight form. Just happened in Uldum.

Coming from someone that doesn’t have a night elf, or a druid: it’s fine OP.

Uh, yes you can. You just cant net anyone on a ground mount. You can net anyone on a flying mount that’s on the ground because its still considered a flying mount.

Depends how late you touch the ground. If its like, literally last second, it’ll pull you out of flight form. If its just cast on you, or half way, and you’re touching the ground, it’ll hit you but it won’t pull you out of flight form.

I’ve tried shooting someone on a flying mount and to interrupt cast he kept landing. He’d fly up, i’d start the net cast, he lands half way through cast, net gun cast didn’t complete if he was on the ground, but yeah if he landed too late into the cast time the net would still fire even though he was grounded dismounting him. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
It’s a little buggy…go figure.

Couple of friends and I literally just tested this, doesn’t work. The only scenario I find this to work in is in water.

You can’t net someone who’s in water even if they’re on a flying mount. Similar to druids going on land, if you go into the water, it’ll negate it.

Maybe on mounts that can do duel roles? Like my pally mount it’s both a ground and flying mount.

I tested that to see if that was the case but it isn’t. Even tested it on my Paladin, doesn’t work. They’ll still get netted.

I don’t know why people are saying they can’t net Druids flight form or flying mounts in general on the ground. Because I can and do on a regular basis. The only time you can’t is when a player doesn’t have flying but is using a flying mount on the ground.

Anyway little tip, always try to get off a snare first before trying to net them down(Provided you have a snare you can use at range). It will prevent them from getting out of range and escaping.

The irony of a dh saying this is just so cute.
